Balgoij or Balgoy is a village in Gelderland, Netherlands, near the river Meuse. It belongs to the Wijchen municipality.

Until 1923, Balgoij was a separate municipality. In 1958, the hamlet of Keent [nl] was transferred to Oss in North Brabant due to the canalisation of the Maas.[3]

The village was first mentioned in 1172 as Balgoie, and means swelling of land near water.[4] In 1840, it was home to 406 people.[3]
